Scarlett OHara was pregnant. After three years of marriage, she was finally carrying a child that was a living testament to her bond with Jay Gatsby. But just as she was about to share the news with him, he dropped a bombshell. "Scarlett, Daisy has leukemia, and she needs your bone marrow to survive."
Daisy Buchanan? The woman who bore a seven-point similarity to her! Was she... back?
Scarletts face drained of color as she heard Jays voice drone on, "Your bone marrow is a perfect match for Daisy. Tomorrow, you will go to the hospital to donate..."
"I wont!" There was no hesitation in Scarletts trembling voice as she refused.
"What did you say?" Her refusal furrowed Jays brow, his eyes filled with displeasure.
"Im pregnant," Scarlett looked at him, enunciating each word. "Jay Gatsby, Im pregnant. I cant donate bone marrow!"
Jay suddenly sneered, his eyes growing cold. "I didnt expect you to lie about being pregnant just to avoid donating bone marrow to Daisy. I truly underestimated you."
Ha, she hadnt been pregnant for three years, and now that she heard about donating bone marrow for Daisy, she was suddenly with child?
He actually thought she was lying to him!
Scarlett opened her mouth, her body swaying as well.
She had always known that she was just a substitute for Daisy, able to marry Jay Gatsby and stay by his side only because she resembled her. She had also thought that she could occupy a small place in his heart, but now it seemed it was just her wishful thinking...
The world was indeed small; not only did she and Daisy look alike, but their types also matched!
What kind of bad karma was this?
Although Scarlett always insisted that she was not lying, the next day, Jay still forcibly took her to the hospital.
The attending physician, George Wilson, after learning that Scarlett was pregnant, shook his head regretfully, "The donor will have a large amount of blood drawn, which will affect the blood supply to the fetus. Moreover, the hormones in a pregnant woman are different, which might have some impact on the patient."
Hearing this, Scarlett breathed a sigh of relief. She also wanted to save people; otherwise, she wouldnt have registered in the bone marrow bank.
But that doesnt mean she would do good deeds recklessly. Between saving a "stranger" and her own child, Scarlett chose her child!
"Get rid of the child."
Those four words were as shocking as thunder, exploding in Scarletts ears.
She looked at Jay in disbelief, seeing no ripples in his eyes, and her heart seemed to be cut into pieces by those words, her eyes red and refusing, "No! You should hurry up and find someone else."
Anticipating Scarletts reaction, Jay coaxed softly, "Be good, we can have another child later."
Hearing this, Daisy lowered her head, her hands clenched, those words were so harsh!
There would be another? How could he speak so lightly?
Scarlett glared at Jay, her eyes burning with anger, "I dont care! Jay Gatsby, I dont want you, I just want this child!"
At this moment, these three words carried a sense of unfamiliarity and determination.
She had never looked at him with such an expression before, and Jay was both anxious and agitated, directly ordering, "Take her to the operating room, get rid of the child now!"
This was the Gatsby familys private hospital, and all the medical staff naturally obeyed Jay Gatsby, and they immediately swarmed and forcibly dragged Scarlett to the operating room.
Daisy, who had received the news and rushed over, saw Scarlett and immediately clutched Jays clothes sorrowfully and helplessly, "Jay, this isnt right, is it? Thats your child..."
"To me, your life is the most important."
These were the last words Scarlett heard before the operating room door closed, causing her already broken heart to fall to the ground and shatter.
"Jay Gatsby, I hate you——!"
